Boys, a waste of time?

thatdarngirl by thatdarngirlOG 2002 · Sep 15, 2003 · 629 views

When I was out in service with my "older brothers", as a young girl, they used to outline to me what a guy should be like. They listed qualities and actions that, if a guy didn't do/have, he was a waste of time.
1) Always make sure you walk on the inside of the road.
2) Offer their seat if you are left standing.
3) Open the door for you, or any other woman.

anyone got any other good ones?

If a guy flirts with other girls in front of you he doesn't respect you.
Or if he acts one way when you are alone and completely non-chalantly when you are together - he doesn't really love you.

My guy friends always told me that.

someone needs to drill this into my head =(

malibu #15.1.1 malibuOG 2001

i'll be over with my bob vela special edition common sense drill tonight!!!!!

forrestina #15.1.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002

hahah spank you

hunkpapap #14 hunkpapapOG 2003

I think the one about standing on the outside is outdated. It was from the old days when a guy had to stand on the outside so if someone from the window above threw poop or other stuff out the window they woman wouldn't get hit.

It can still apply in the rain to puddles and just in general to being careful...

i don't even pay attention to what side bri is standing on. that requirement seems like nitpicking to me.

jamiephaser #13 jamiephaserOG 2003

I agree boys area waste of time thats why i like girls.

hunkpapap #12 hunkpapapOG 2003

I hate when a gil says that she's never had someone be nice to her, then takes advantage of your niceties...

specialk #12.1 specialkOG 2003

Kinda like playing a guy because he'll treat you nice and be good to you, and dote all over you because he's crazy about you, even though you have NO intention of dating him or whatever?
Yeah, I hate that too.

perrin #12.1.1 perrinOG 2004

Girls that do that are the ones that are pure evil!

specialk #12.1.1.1 specialkOG 2003

Yeah....I totally agree with that statement.

It's nice when a guy takes the initiative to do something thoughtful without the girl having to hint. Suprises rock.

ok4now #10 ok4nowOG 2002

i think the operative word here is boys.

ilikebirds #9 ilikebirdsOG 2002

on a cold wintery night, throw her pajamas in the dryer so they are nice and warm right before she gets out of the shower...and pinch her

T
#9.1 toxicgirlOG 2003

Well you started off strong, yet somehow you always manage to derail.

ilikebirds #9.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

hey now, didn't want her to think she was dreaming.

T
#9.1.1.1 toxicgirlOG 2003

The element of suprise, always keep your woman guessing.

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

Like when cooks a good meal... rather then saying "Yummy"... I say TACKLE HER

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

haha, yeah, you're definately gona make some woman really happy one day..while simultaneously confusing the heck outa her, lol

reaf reafOG 2002

ha ha

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

isn't that the point.. to confuse the heck out of her.. so she goes to bed thinking every night " does he love me ? or not , i dont know but i will continue to serve him and take care of all his needs until i find out ". game over.

tinser tinserOG 2002

ty, this is why i want to be your wife

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

i REALLY, REALLY want to be ty's official video biographer.

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 skaorsk8

number 1 - it'd be really boring during the hours of 9am-5pm every monday thru tuesday. However i'm changing that soon. number 2 - it'd definately be more boring during the hours of 5.01pm-8.59am everyday. number 3 - it'd definately be rated nc-17 because there will be more nude scenes then any type of girl going wild.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 ilikebirds

when would the nekid time occur?? it's hard to video tape something that boring.

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

and you are why i sleep with a smile

malibu #8 malibuOG 2001

my dad gave me these
1) if he squashes a bug you are afraid of and only slightly mocks you for it.

2)tells you when you have spinach in your teeth.

3)will dance at least one song with you, even when he hates to dance. but then again never get a guy who hates to dance when you love it.

I think it's nice when a guy runs out in the rain to pull the car up close so the girl doesn't have to get wet. Specially with someone like me, I hate fussing with umbrellas.

malibu #7.1 malibuOG 2001

there was some young brothers in our hall that did this and helped girls out to their cars in the ice and snow while spreading the salt. it was sweet.

T
#7.1.1 toxicgirlOG 2003

There is a little boy I bribe with quarters to clean off snow for my car. If he was old enough to drive, I'd give him a quarter to pull my car up to the door.

malibu #7.1.1.1 malibuOG 2001

i remember when i was so excited to run out in the snow and rain so i could turn my mom's and dads car on for them so it would warm up.

ophelia #7.1.1.2 opheliaOG 2003

You're going to form a complex in this childs mind that will make him think he's worth nothing more than a quarter..20 years from now, he's going to be working in a Viatnamese sweat shop, for 25cents an hour, and you, you will be the reason

T
toxicgirlOG 2003

HAHAHAHA...well at least his parents are filthy rich.

thatdarngirl #7.2 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Someone sbould teach my ben about this..it would be very helpfull.

fivezero #7.2.1 fivezeroOG 2003

heh. maybe you could drop lil hints. some guy's minds don't function that way. you gotta say, LOOK--if you really love me, then you won't have me doing anything unpleasant when you could have an ounce of chivalry and give me a hand. tell him he should WANT to. he'll fall in line. OR he'll think your a helpless nag and dump you for one of thai's flight attendant heroin mules.

malibu #7.2.1.1 malibuOG 2001

wellll.... oh my that was quite a pleasant thought.

T
toxicgirlOG 2003

It's even more unpleasant for the girl who is dating him. Looks like I won't be dropping any subtle hints.

thatdarngirl #7.2.1.2 thatdarngirlOG 2002

It really didn't bother me that much after I read this part of my sociology book about how if women want to stop being treated as they are depicted in that picture ian posted then they have to stop acting inferior.

malibu malibuOG 2001

yes its true. cuz women are independant in many things but when asked they want a guy to take care of them. or (i know this was mentioned somewhere else) how the guy is still expected to ask the girls out cuz its their place. women still act inferior.

malibu malibuOG 2001

some women do anyway.

tinser tinserOG 2002

i don't think thats such a bad thing though.

ilikebirds #6 ilikebirdsOG 2002

iwz #6.1 iwz

iwz #5 iwz

reaf #5.1 reafOG 2002

T
#5.2 toxicgirlOG 2003

Oh my goodness, I can't believe ppl actually thought this was the way to go... "his topics of conversation are more important than yours"!!??

skaorsk8 #5.2.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

"be a little gay and more interesting for him"...yes, that would be interesting. in a disgusting way.

T
#5.2.1.1 toxicgirlOG 2003

Be gay and put a ribbon in your hair...

jamiephaser jamiephaserOG 2003

gay meant happy in the 50's

juicymango #5.3 juicymangoOG 2003

I think that's printed on my toilet paper. (translation - i wipe my poopies in this despicableness!)

jamiephaser #5.4 jamiephaserOG 2003

Hey how come shes not barefoot!!

hunkpapap #5.4.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

cuz she's wearing stilleto heels..

jamiephaser #5.4.1.1 jamiephaserOG 2003

suchgr8heights suchgr8heightsOG 2003

T
#5.4.2 toxicgirlOG 2003

thin ice, toots. thin ice.

forrestina #5.5 forrestinaOG 2002

ive always loved how it says "prepare the children" what are they...chicken??

ok4now #4 ok4nowOG 2002

wash dishes without asking...and WITHOUT mentioning it (i.e. hey, honey...I'LL do the dishes tonight); just DO them

ophelia #3 opheliaOG 2003

Other key qualities:

Makes the idea of him wanting to spend more time w/you than his friends, at the very least, convincing.

Will watch a "chick flick" w/you w/out complaining about the lack of explosions and carnage.

uhh, yeah that's all I can think of for now

juicymango #2 juicymangoOG 2003

My mom always said if a boy grabs you by the elbow he's going to be controlling and abusive. Haha. I still to this day do not let boys grab my elbows. Ever. I hurt them when they try to.

ophelia #2.1 opheliaOG 2003

Yes, non-abusiveness is definately a quality to look for in guys,lol, nothing will screw up a relationship more than constant beatings....haha, & on this subject, I was watching one of those sleazy talk shows the other day, & they subject of the episode was "Women Who Beat Their Men"..I was DYING laughing

tinser #2.2 tinserOG 2002

yeah, i always heard that too. I knew this guy who constantly grabbed me by the elbow...i swear he's going to be a wife beater. Ever since he grabbed me by both elbows and wouldn't let me go....yeah, thats when i stopped talking to him...he scared the heck out of me. hah...dont marry him!

malibu #2.3 malibuOG 2001

yes. i've heard this one. and if he pokes you a lot. kid in know will definetly be an abusive husband cuz he's just an abusive person.

tinser #1 tinserOG 2002

i love it when guys open the door for you, its very gentleman like.

i was always taught that younger girls should open the door for older women...as an extension to that rule.

skaorsk8 #1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

i always offer my seat, but if a girl says no, i feel really stupid. i don't know why.

tinser #1.1.1 tinserOG 2002

aww, poor dan...i'll keep that in mind.

I always feel bad taking a guys seat...but its nice they offer anyway.

malibu #1.1.1.1 malibuOG 2001

yeah i always feel really bad taking their seat too.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

haha so do i which is why jahanna and i were smooshing onto one seat until i finally found a chair for myself
